This document describes the build / construction side of Sage and Stone's services.

Overview

• Sage and Stone builds custom residential landscapes in Seattle, including technically complex outdoor projects.
• The in-house construction team includes carpenters, stonemasons, steelworkers, and other specialists.
• Projects are managed with an emphasis on craftsmanship, clear communication, and staying on time and on budget.

Construction specialties

Sage and Stone's builders commonly work with:

• Carpentry – decks, fences, pergolas, garden structures, and other wood features.
• Stone – patios, pathways, walls, and stone details.
• Steel – railings, edging, custom metal elements.
• Concrete – flatwork and structural elements where needed.
• Irrigation – installation and preparation of irrigation systems.
• Drainage – grading and drainage solutions to protect structures and planting areas.
• Lighting – landscape lighting integrated into the design.
• Earthwork – shaping and preparing the site.
• Shelters – outdoor structures for shade or weather protection.
• Fire pits – integrated outdoor fire features.
• Water features – custom water elements.
• Horticulture and planting – preparing beds and installing plants per the design.
• Native habitats and water conservation – options for more ecological, low-water gardens.

Exact scope and materials vary by project and are determined during design and bidding.

How the build process works

1. Dial in your design

The construction team collaborates with the design team to ensure the design is smart, buildable, and aligned with your priorities and budget.

2. Itemized bid

You receive an itemized construction bid that shows the cost of the overall build and of individual elements that are part of your project.

3. Detailed construction schedule

Sage and Stone prepares a detailed construction schedule and pre-orders materials so the project can run smoothly. The team also takes steps to protect your home, driveway, and sidewalks, and to notify neighbors when appropriate.

4. Construction phase

The builders complete site preparation, infrastructure, and all hardscape and structural elements, followed by planting and finishing details. A dedicated project lead coordinates the work.

5. Ongoing communication

During the build, you have a clear point of contact and a communication channel connecting you with your designer, project manager, operations manager, and horticulturist.

6. Planting and garden handoff

After construction is complete, the team tidies the site, prepares garden beds and irrigation systems, and hands off to the garden team for planting and ongoing care if you choose maintenance services.

Building from outside designs

• In addition to building projects they have designed, Sage and Stone can also build from plans created by other Seattle landscape architects, subject to review and confirmation.

Who build services are for

• Homeowners in Seattle and nearby neighborhoods who want a professionally built, long-lasting landscape.
• Clients with new designs (from Sage and Stone or another designer) who are ready to move into construction.

For current availability, construction timelines, or to request an estimate, customers should contact Sage and Stone directly via the website contact form, email, or phone.

After the consult, you receive a design proposal with an itemized breakdown of design costs based on what was discussed.

4. Concept sketches

The team creates multiple concept sketches exploring different ways to translate your vision. You compare options and choose the elements that best fit your lifestyle and budget.

5. Revisions and final design

Your chosen elements are refined into a cohesive final design that is both buildable and functional.

6. Final itemized bid for construction

Once the design is complete, you receive an itemized construction bid for the build phase (if Sage and Stone is building the project).
